Great Thoughts for Thinking: (Changed Mondays & Thursdays.)
When I have money, I get rid of it quickly, lest it find a way into my heart. –John Wesley
The Bible in its totality ascribes only one intention to God: to save mankind. Every task of the church makes sense and has a purpose only as it leads to the mission. –George F. Vicedom
If our only concern is to witness where we are, how will people in unevangelized areas ever hear the gospel? The present uneven distribution of Christians and opportunities to hear the gospel of Christ will continue on unchanged. –C. Gordon Olson
It all goes so fast, and character makes the difference when it’s close. –Jesse Owens
The biggest mistake an athlete can make is to be afraid to make one. –L. Ron Hubbard
It’s easy to stand back, but to move forward and take a chance, that takes a little more guts, a little more courage. –Venus Williams
Not to have control over the senses is like sailing in a rudderless ship, bound to break to pieces on coming in contact with the very first rock. –Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
To succeed in business, to reach the top, an individual must know all it is possible to know about that business. –J. Paul Getty. RG—or at least 80%, since it is really impossible to know everything!
Greatness lies not in being strong, but in the right use of strength. –Henry Ward Beecher
He who makes no mistakes makes no progress. --Theodore Roosevelt
Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows that it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows that it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn’t matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you had better be running. --African proverb
The moment a question comes to your mind, see yourself mentally taking hold of it and disposing of it. In that moment is your choice made. Thus you learn to take the path to the right. Thus you learn to become the decider and not the vacillator. Thus you build character. --H. Van Anderson
The law of enduring negativity states that human nature continually gravitates toward negative feelings and dissatisfaction.
The Old Testament book of Jonah builds the case for creating plans that bow to the winds of the marketplace or culture, not the whim of the leader. Jonah learns that forces stronger than he are in control.
A leader who acts justly will go to battle to protect liberty, law, and life. Though he slay the enemy, he will practice mercy and humility when the fighting is over.
